During the Communist era, the Jewish Museum was controlled by the Government; later on, after the revolution, it was handed back to the Jewish community in 1994. In total, the museum is made up of six historical sites: The Maisel Synagogue, The Spanish Synagogue, The Pinkas Synagogue, The Old Jewish Cemetery, The Klausen Synagogue and The Ceremonial Hall, all giving visitors a real image of Jewish life and culture in Prague over the centuries – including the tragic years of Nazi occupation and World War II.
